WE have presented to our students this year a course of unusually
strong special lectures. A few of these are mentioned in this number. In
addition to the subjects treated many most valuable suggestions were
brought out concerning all phases of secretarial and associational life by
questions from the students. The after conferences are often as suggestive
as the lectures themselves and that is saying a great deal.
•••
To show the widely spread influence of the School we note that out of
fourteen" personals" that have come to our notice this month the following
province and states are represented: New Brunswick, Maine, Massachusetts, .
Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Georgia, lIIinois, Indiana, Wiscon­sin,
Missouri, and Michigan, besides Germany•
•••
WE especially note among the several good things that the Correspond­ing
Secretary says in another column that graduates of the School are the
best argument for its existence. Yet too much should not be expected
from the training of any school, nor that all of its representatives will nec­essarily
commend it. There is a double danger connected with judging a
school by the career of its graduates. First, too muclt credit may be
attached to the School's training in accounting for the success of some of
its graduates, and, second, the lack of success on the part of others may be
made to reflect unjustly upon the School's training. In general, however,
it is doubtless true that the" wisdom" of founding such an institution must
be " justified of her children."
WORK on the new gymnasium building will soon be commenced. The
seniors hope that before they leave Springfield the walls will be of sufficient
height to furnish a background for another class picture.
